Let's solve this addition problem. We have 6480 and 8549, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6480 + 8549 = 15029.
